Range coaches stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, shoot the new Annual Rifle Qualification (ARQ) at the range on base, Oct. 6, 2021. At the start of the fiscal year, Oct. 1, 2021, the Marine Corps officially introduced its new ARQ. This new course of fire will require Marines to be more independent and self-aware of the mission. It will also include the use of barricades, and focus on positional shooting, providing a more realistic way to train. The purpose of this new ARQ is to boost lethality, promote combat mindset and train Marines like they fight.
